Your statement above would mean that people who are against capital punishment would not be able to be in support for bringing charges in murder cases, because once they agree to the bringing of charges they accede to whatever penalty is applicable.
Yeah, it’s that dumb.
You are a practised bullsh*tter. But not a very good one. The analogy fails because you have made no argument against penalty, in the way that some are opposed to capital punishment on principle. You have offered no objection to the possible penalties for an assault case like this; you have therefore implicitly accepted what is available to a court to impose under the law once you have accepted it is appropriate to put the matter before a court. It is disingenuous to say you could subsequently be opposed on principle to the penalty imposed; those penalties are on the books and you have made no objection to them. You haven't argued as such for a person's right to take the matter to court but that it is acceptable for them to seek prosecution in those jurisdictions where those laws exist; it isn't possible to be indifferent to the possible penalties unless you either don't care or are ignorant of them. That could well be it. I would say, be better - but I don't think you are up to it.
Tommy, you were out of order, you f**ked up, let it go.
Please don’t be a scout leader anymore.
